The Pilot is mistaken. That the Irish are a reading people is in evidence from the fact that there are as many IriBh hebdomadals published in this city or weeklies published in the Irish interest, Fenian and otherwise as thero are of any other outside nationality that abides among us.

The suspension of tbe Guardian Savings Bank, which wafl controlled almost entirely by the capitalists of the "Ring," and of which William M. Tweed was President, is a na tural result of the collapse of the ''Ring" itself, and also goes to explain the run which commenced yesterday on the Bowling Green Savings Bank ?n institution near of kin to the "Boss' own, and on the National (Savings Institution, which has been luckless enough to have a Tweed (Jr.) among Its directon. There is no need to feel any uncertainty in regard to the great majority of our savirgs institutions, for they are, as a rule, ibonestf/ controlled and are considered per fectly sound. The Guardian and Bowling Given are the only ones that have an acknow lolged affinity with tbe "Ring" management, jfld tbey doubtless feel now that a good name k better than silver or gold. It is to be earn estly desired that the laboring men whose bread and meat depend upon tho little sums they have deposited in these concerns may culler no loss. Nothing that bas yet been proven against the "Ring" managers will go eo far to render the lower classes indignant as to thus bring "Ring" rascality to bear directly on their own slim pockets. Better that every man of means in the directory of these banks sacrifice his whole fortune than that these worthy and needy depositors go unpaid. flPhe Ocrnu Bcllilsiii Reform Noveaeau The movement of which Dr. DtUlinger ia ithe recognized head progresses slowly bo slowly, In fact, that many, both of those who favor and of those who oppose it, are of the '^opinion that it Is wanting in vitality. At the same time it is bard to get rid of the idea that ?it does not, indeed, make some progress. In (this far away land of ours, where religious liberty is a great and glorious fact, and where the dominating power of a State Church is not felt, we cannot realize the character of the ?truggle which is now going on, particularly in !Bavaria, but generally all over Catholic Gcr roany. It is something to know that in Bava ria the royal placet is a barrier wall which thitherto has defied all the artillery of Rome. In former times, when Rome excommunicated A clergyman, the State, without question, gave ?ffect to the Church's decisions and dispos sessed the heretic of his living. There are mow in Bavaria several excommunicated cler gymen and professors of theology but the 'Bavarian government sustains the rebels and resists Rome. The same policy is being pur sued by the government of Prussia. Great revolutions are sometimes of slow growth. It Is not conceivable that this state of things can Song exist in Catholic Germany without bring ing about a great religious reform. It has icftev been said that without concordats the {Papal empire could not survive.

A Husband Charged with Throwing Keroasne Over His Wife and Than Setting Her On Fire? The Body Found by Neighbors iu the Burning House with the Flesh Dropping 0 if Piecemeal. Boston, Nor. 18, 1KT1. One of the most brutal and luhuiuuu tragedies which ever horrified am community was enacted In Lynn last night, ami Is to-day tue leading topic of conversation In that city. The actors were a man named JonnU. Clinton, about forty-three year* of age, a barber by trade, ami bis wile, who wan made the victim of treatment, that could only be expected from a tieud, she having been shockingly beaten and then LITEKAU.Y KO ASTRO TO DEATH. The scene of the affair wan on Howard street, in one of the small wooden house.* which are sot back from the street, and accessible b y menus of narrow alleyways from the street. The parties lived In the rear ot No. 3a, the family consisting or Clinton, Ills wile and four boys, ranging In age Irom three to seventeen j ears. About half-past eight o'clock last evening two women, named Margaret Browu and Charlotte Moody, who lived almost directly in front of Clinton's house, had their atteution called to the latter by the sound of heavy blows, screatulug and groaning which proceeded from it. As the sounds increased the two women went out and listened Iwneatn the winnow.*, but tho Bounds suddenly ceased and all was quiet. They then returned to their houses, but In about fifteen minutes were again disturbed bv the same noises, which thev ngaiu sought to trace out as before, but the sounds ceased as they had previously done. After this everything remained quiet until about ten minutes past nine o'ciock when the same women discovered that the house was on tire inside. An alarm wu-i at once raised, and ihree men, named David Lee, Frellnghuysen Moody and Fred Walton, rushed into the house with buckets. On en. tering they found tbat there was tire on a table In the front room, also In an entry way which led up stair*, and a pile In the middle of the floor, consisting of what APPKAKED TO BE A BUNDLE OF CLOTHING, was also burning, uu examining the tatter it was found to be the body of Mrs. Clinton, horrtoly bruised and burned in most sickening manner. The clothing was almost entirely burned from the body, which was scorched anu roasted. The flumes were put out witn some difficulty. One report Is that while tho men were endeavor ing to extinguish the tiro the poor victim llirew up one of her arms and breathed per ceptibly, but another, and probably the correct, story is that life had left tho body when it was dis covered. About tnree feet from the head or the vic tim lay the fragments of a kerosene lamp, which had been borrowed from a neighbor on that night, and traces of the oil were also seen on different parts of the floor. City Marshal Hnrrett aud two officers went at once to the place. Clinton was STANDING OVEIt TUE E01)Y OP HIS WIFE, doing nothing, hut appealing considerably affected. He was arrested, taken to tho station bouse and locked up. One of the sons, named Frank, a lad ten years of age, who was llrst to enter the house says that he had been attending an even ing school that night, and had returned lioiuo just as the tire was discovered. He went into the honso and saw his mother burning on the floor. Recol lectlng that his little brother was probably upstairs abed he rushed np and met his latner comma down. He found his brother, took bim down stairs and into a neighboring house. As soon as the flames bad been extinguished Coroner J. O. Plnkham was I called in, and he ordered the body of the woman to be earned lo the police station, which was lln mo di a'.ely done. Tue Coroner then summoned a Jury, wno viewed ine body and tliun adjourned. Al'l'E All ANcK OF THK BODY. Tho corpse presented a sickening sight. There were marks of violence on tlio head, consisting or two or three cuts, looking ai though they had been made with somo dull instrument. On the breast were alio wounds whicn appeared to have been caused by something beside the flames. The leatures I were renJered unrecognizable, and the hair was burned clo.se to the head, leaving the skull oare a:id horribly crisped and black, tho flesh dropping from the hau ls, arms and body, rendering It a sight winch could not be behold without a shudder at the awful atrocity of the crime and the blackness of the soul that could execute It. TUB HUSBAND AND rilHONER'S STORY. The husband and prisoner has said very little, but to!d a brief story. It is that he was In oed up stairs about nlue o'clock, all tieing quiet, when his little boy came rnshlng up and told him the hou?e was on tiro, lie went down and foun I his wifo lying on the floor in the condition in which she was found by the three men. The belief that the mail is guilty is almost uuiver sal. Oue theory of the aiiair Is that he had soiue difficulty with his wire, durlu:.' which he threw tho Kerosene lamp at her, striking her on the breast ana inflicting tho wounds referred to; that the on scattered over her clothing and the FLAMKS W E It B INU.vI.EI> BY THE VICTIM. Other people flrmly believo that the monster killed her bv blows and then actually set fire to tho body, leaving it to burn. Ills previous character has been rather had, lie has beeu known In Lyun for upwards of twentv years, though not constantly a resident, and during that time? ror the past two or three years? he has carried on the business of a barber at the Kaliroad House on Market street, and has been known as a man much given to drinkiDg and of an exceedingly bad temper. There has ire qucnily been trouble between Mm and his wife, rartiy caused by tjie fact that the latter was pos sessed oi some property which lie could not have me control of. The officers have been frequently called into his house to quell dlsimlmnces, and Clinton has been before the Police Co in on one or two occasions lately.
